I just got a call this morning with my area code. It was not from anyone I know, so I did not answer. I never answer calls or texts if I’m not sure who is contacting me.
I don’t get many telemarketing calls on my cell; most are to my landline. The landline messages all go voicemail, which I check every week or so and I only listen long enough to delete them.

@chrystaltree It's not only landlines, unfortunately. I have two Tracfones, one number I've had for 15 years, the other just a few years. The newer number gets about 4 spam calls every day and it's really annoying. Since it's a backup phone, sometimes I'll power it off for a few days or a week. The older (primary) number only gets them once in a while. Nice to see the Do Not Call registry is working so well. <sarcasm>
@shaggygirl I also got the Microsoft call the other day. It was my first one! And I had read about it recently on this board and it was the first thing I thought of when they started their spiel. Thanks to all those who post about these things and keeping us aware.

I just wanted to say thanks to the O/P and other very informative threads starters about these scammings. It is amazing how many people are not to "savvy" about these phone calls, emails and are taken in. You are saving a lot of people a lot of headaches. So keep these threads coming. That is the only way to stop these people is to become informed.

There is a place for these people... but, it is not anything special.
